Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 90.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points

Outlook
With a Rating of 51.603, Pierre carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 127 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
